The Transfer Playbook 2.0 offers a comprehensive framework to address the persistent challenges of transfer student success, particularly for students of color and low-income students. This session explored the three pillars of Aspen’s and CCRC’s research into how community colleges achieve high and equitable levels of student success in transfer: (1) making transfer a presidential priority, (2) aligning program pathways and high-quality instruction to the goal of transfer student success, and (3) tailoring advising and support services to foster trust and engagement. Presenters provided practical insights into institutional changes that can significantly improve bachelor’s attainment rates, and attendees left with actionable steps to transform their institutions’ transfer success strategies.
